The whole tour was awesome. There were unexpected issues with travel due to weather, but Kiwi Experience had the people in place to make sure things went off without a hitch! I would truly recommend this trip to anyone looking to have fun and explore NZ.

I explored NZ for the first time with Kiwi Experience and it was amazing! I did activities I'll never forget! Surfing, bungee jumping... I even went on a helicopter! I met amazing people and saw incredible sights! You meet awesome people and it's an easy way to travel!

My first time travelling on my own, I was terrified when I hopped on the bus in Auckland, however when I saw Amanda’s smiling face I knew it would all be fine. I’ve had the best 5 weeks ever, and completed things I never thought I would do prior to the bus. From bungy jumping to heli-hikes to white water rafting. I’ve climbed mountains/volcanoes and pushed my self to the limit but enjoyed every second of it. I’ve made so many life long friends through many drunken nights out or just from chilling on the bus together. New Zealand is a beautiful! Thank you so much to all the drivers I had; Amanda, Guy, Dylan, James and Hayley!

When my friend said she loved KiwiExperience I though she was exagerating, but what a wonderful trip. Is perfect if what you want is just sit back relax and enjoy the view. Great people, places and memories.

100% worth doing. Only wish I could have stayed in places longer than I did but I only had limited time. But overall an amazing experience and would even do it again

Best thing I’ve ever done!!! Such an amazing experience! Great way to see NZ!!!

Me and my girlfriend travelled on the bus over the last couple of months. The trip was fantastic. We visited lots of amazing places and experienced lots of new things. The bus was very straight forward and easy as well as the accommodation side of things as well. The only real disappointment was the difference in knowledge between the drivers. Once we reached the bay of islands at the end of our trip we had Jarrad - a very knowledgable driver who advised new passengers to Kiwi to make sure they ignore the generic itinerary provided by yourselves and create your own ensuring you spend lots of extra time in places as minimum time isn’t enough. This was sadly never explained by our very first driver when we started in Auckland.

Did this trip in December and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. If you’re happy paying Abit more just to have the trip sorted and planned out for you so you can enjoy stress free then do it. All I did is have fun and meet amazing people. Also Guy, our driver, was a legend and we were lucky enough to have him.

I bought this without realising that it’s a backpacker trip and I was 68 but it didn’t matter as every young person was lovely. I so enjoyed the activities and options available. I had never dived in caves nor been skydiving and had so much fun.
